Hello again
I think it depends on how much time you have to spend on looking for furniture yourself. Our friends bought their furniture theirselves from a shop in the Puerto, (will ask them for the name), they were really helpful, swapped things about if they changed their minds. And if you buy things like mirrors etc they are quite happy to come and put them up, but I think most places in Spain are like that. Also you don't get any light fittings in new properties and the place they bought the lights from was very good and came round and put them all up for them at no charge. Other people we have spoken to have bought the packages, and the apartment we rent has the package and it is fine, settees really comfy and different colour choices etc. Air con, not sure about that will ask our friends. So probably that is easier if you are not moving in yourselves.
As we intend to live in our apartment we would probably go for the package with some changes as we don't want to waste space in the living area with a dining table and chairs, rather have two big sofas for comfort and a breakfast table area between the kitchen/lounge area. We will have a table on the terrace, and most of the year will be able to eat outside. The long term plan we have if we eventually move there is to hopefully have the terrace glassed in for the winter. Oh well, all a long away for us but not too long for you - lucky you.
